Add-on SDK

The core goals is to preserve current development ergonomics and maybe share those with other teams::

The canonical SDK repository remains on github.

Code can be contributed via pull requests or patches in bugzilla.

Changes to SDK modules should not require Firefox builds.

Weekly drops from the current github integration branch will be dropped into an HG branch, validated, then merged into m-c

SDK test suite will be integrated into the Mozlla test suite and run on each commit

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Things are very stable at this point. Just one smaller issue:

Delicious add-on may be causing URL not to appear in awesome bar. Waiting for confirmation before filing bug [1]

Mobile

Google Play Reviews are very positive for this Release. Feedback solicitation is working as expected, resulting in a significant increase in Input Feedback. Reader Mode and Performance are the biggest wins for us in this release.
